Count Dooku Build - Second Run
« on: December 31, 2015, 11:51:36 PM »
I posted in WTB for a Korbanth Count Dooku Saber build and got A LOT of messages from other people seeking to grab one as well. Post here if you're interested in pre-ordering one, we'll be able to get Korbanth to do a second run if there's enough interest!

Missed out on my chance to buy a Duke from someone so there's nothing I'd like more if he does a second run. I have my doubts that he'll do another one so soon because I messaged him about two months ago and he said he needs more time (about a year) in order to build more demand. He said he has about 5-6 people who wants the saber (at the time I messaged him) but said he needs somewhere closer to 60 because he might do a run of 150 dukes.

But hey, if he needs more people to be interested, I'll gladly sign up.

If it is aluminum instead of steel this time, I'd sign up in a heartbeat

I would definitely in! I find it hard to believe that there are less than 60 people who want a Duke!

I can surely get another run done, if I can get a minimum of 50-60 people interested, and at least 40+ people committed to helping me get the run going, by prepaying, so I can use those funds to get China to start on them...these crowd-funded product runs are only doable with everyone working together, as these runs can easily run over $35,000 to get product.

one huge major difference this time around, is now I have a place with will provide CHROME-LIKE super polishing and these would like the bumper of your car, mirror finish...whereas last time, I didn't have access to that place, and they finish sure could have used a good polishing....and now that they did these, they wont make some of the same mistakes you make, when doing something for the first time....

so we can call these Duke 2.0 -  :)   - if I see at least 40+ more people speak up in this thread I'll make it happen, if I don't, like I suspect...then the project is not ripe enough to see frutation.

I would be interested but, only if the holes both sides of the blade holder were not done. A single hole on the underside would be more appropriate, also not having shine through where the brass piece attaches on top of the emitter, that needs to be sealed.
I don't know, i gotta bad feeling about this!

I would be interested, if there were more improvements. In addition to Bobarta's requests.

Will the pommel come with sound venting?
Will the parts be threaded, instead of held together with set screws?

I might be interested if the above improvements were implemented.  A true 2.0 vs. a 1.5 as it were.

If we can make the improvements mentioned, I'd certainly be in for one.  I got one the last time, but never bothered to finish it because of the issues everyone was having.  I'd really like a nice Dooku for my collection though.

If we get enough interest, I'll pre-pay no worries.

How much are these hilts? For the right price, I'd definitely snag one :D
